She made a comeback in the millennium, and her first performance ran to a rural tourism and cultural festival in Fuyang, Anhui province, singing "Love for Sale" from seven years ago.
The collective survival of singers of sacred songs can directly reflect the changes in the market for sacred songs. The most searched for song in the charts and square dance portals is still "Little Apple", a song released two and a half years ago. "Can't Afford to Be Hurt" from five years ago and "The Dazzling Ethnic Wind" from seven years ago are also firmly on the list.
In the past two years, Internet technology and capital have helped the music industry solve some of its old problems, with BAT clearing up copyrights on Internet music platforms and crowdfunding allowing bands claiming to be 18th-tier artists to hold concerts at industrial stadiums.
Wang Lin previously took advantage of the momentum of the "I'm a Singer" hit, out of a song of the same name. It was thrown on the market with no response at all. She said it was a big blow to their team, "The team argued a lot about whether there was still a market for sacred songs in this day and age."
Washing the circle of friends and microblogging in 2016 is no longer a divine song, it is a seemingly spoof, but in fact a high specification work such as "feel the body is emptied". The song also used an internet buzzword for its title. One day after the song's music video was released, it had nearly 20 million plays on Weibo alone, and the reviews were unanimously favorable. This is the Rainbow Choir's second breakout hit, the first being called "Zhang Shichao where the hell did you put my house keys".
Singer Yang Zongwei previously covered an adapted version of "Zhang Shichao" on a program. A few episodes ago on the same program, Brilliance covered an adapted version of "My Skateboard Shoes". Both videos quickly went viral on Weibo. Before that, what also set off the social network was Dazhang Wei's "The Best of the Human World Get Up and Get High," skewering the sacred songs of the past generations.
The explosion of content on social networks and the polarization of user interests have made the life cycle of content products shorter than ever. Creating a hit is more important than ever. Rainbow Choir, Dazhang Wei and Yang Zongwei, the "regular army" of the music industry, have continued to utilize sacred songs to impact social networks from high to low, eroding the attention that might have belonged to Wang Lin.
The most fatal thing for Shenqu is not the loss of social networks - this position is only responsible for the influence, not responsible for the cash - but the loss of color bells for Shenqu.
